Inhoud:

Challenging traditional views of arms dealers as agents of their own countries, Grant asserts that these firms pursued their own economic interests while convincing their home governments that weapon sales meant national prestige and influence. Grant tells how the resulting arms trade eventually led to an all-out arms race, and ultimately to war.
